Rosebud Conference Champions The roaring Gregory Gorillas started out a successful season of football when they left August 29 for the annual football camp at Camp Bob Marshall near Custer. Through a week's practice and training the 40 boys began to show up well. The Gorillas proved their strength on Friday night Septem- ber 2, when they invaded Custer with a 14-6 victory. The following Sunday the group re- turned home. Practice was resumed Monday, September 4. The first official game came with Heelan High, of Sioux City, Friday night, September 9, under the newly constructed lights on the Gregory field. The Gorillas turned out a good game except for a second quarter when the team got down. The following Friday the Gorillas journeyed to Miller, where they upset the Miller eleven 34-7 without much trouble. The Gorillas held Miller on the 1-yard line several times through- out the game. The night of Seplember 23 saw the weather being very warm and an ideal night for foot- ball. The Gorillas easily rushed over White River to win the second game of the season 21-0. The next weekend saw another ideal night for football and the first conference game for Gregory, they were to clash with the Burke Bulldogs at Burke under the lights. The Gorillas batted down Burke's aerial attack with a hard and fast charging line and a hard running backfield. The score was kept close with a 7-0 victory for Gregory, who had now stiarted on their way to a conference champion- s ip. The month of October turned out to be successful for the Gorillas although the weather was turning cooler, they never lost a game. They started out October 7 with Wagner entertaining them, where they easily slipped by with a 39-0 victory over the Red Raiders. The next weekend Gregory was ready for a revenge on the Platte team on the home field. Gregory took an early lead and held a 21-7 lead at the end of the game. October 21, the Gorillas packed up and headed for Vermillion where they would play the first afternoon game of the season. With a very warm and sunshiny afternoon, Gregory took the lead very easily and let the little Gorillas take command the rest of the game except for the remaining few minutes in the fourth quarter when the first eleven went in to hold the Tanagers down to one touchdown. Gibbons' Galloping Gorillas came out on top with a score of 28-6. The next Friday the Gorillas stayed home to meet Chamberlain in the second conference game. With a moderately cool evening Gregory easily held the Cubs to a 26-0 victory, to win the second conference game. The only one now remaining was Winner on November 11. November didn't start out as well as October, although the weather was getting colder. The first Friday in November saw the Gorillas traveling to Wessington Springs.
